- To acquire knowledge in a specific area of Civil Engineering and/or Architecture, using research actions, innovation or further development of professional skills;
- The ability to integrate knowledge, dealing with complex issues, to develop solutions or issue judgments in situations of limited or incomplete information, including reflections on the ethical and social implications and responsibilities arising out of these solutions and these judgments;
- To be able to report its findings, knowledge outcomes and the reasoning underlying them, in a clear way and without ambiguity.The contents are intended to complete the training in the scientific area of the study cycle, allowing the student choose to choose among one of three options:
All these possibilities will have supervisors and moderators indicated by FEUP and FAUP, depending on the scope of the work to be carried out, as well as from the part of the host organisation, if available.
The monitoring of the activities will be carried out through regular meetings, attended by the student and the assigned supervisor(s) and moderator(s).The development of the work of Dissertation/Internship/Project Design has a duration of approximately 40 weeks (42 ECTS - 1134 hours) involving, in a broad scope and adapted to the profile of the work chosen by the student, the following tasks:
- Detailed definition of the problem(s) to investigate or analyse;
- Support references’ research;
- Development and implementation of the research strategy and/or proposed solutions to the identified problems;
- Accomplishment, quantification and definition of the interpretation process for the results;
- Production of: (i) Dissertation report; (ii) Synthesis Report of activity performed during the Internship; (iii) Documentation concerning the description and completion of the Project Design;
- Final public presentation before a jury.The development of any of the three possibilities provided for in this UC will receive tutorial support from supervisors, with schedule and distribution adjusted to its profile.
The first phase of the work (3rd semester) will involve, in general: (i) definition of the theme, objectives and work plan; (ii) State-of-the-art research, difficulties encountered and strategies for its override; (iii) Presentation of a preliminary scheme, to supervisors and colleagues, for the gathering of relevant contributions for the further development of the work.
The second phase, with methodology defined by the supervisors and taking into account the conclusions of the previous phase, will be developed until the end of 4th semester, ending in its arguing before a jury.
The final classification of this module will be the one attributed during the public discussion of the developed work which will take into account the quality of the written report, its presentation and its discussion.Designation | Weight (%) |
